Tutor Spotlight !

I have been teaching and tutoring in all levels of math for many years. I am a licensed teacher in the State of Indiana. I especially enjoy working with students one on one or in small groups because it is easy to see how they think and find out where they need the most help. I am now retired with over 30 years experience of teaching high school and college math. I work well with students in a non threatening manner. It is my goal to make students feel at ease and comfortable in asking any questions they may have. I am able to explain mathematics in a variety of ways, so I can find out what works with any student. I emphasize the logic of math concepts in addition to just memorizing procedures.

I have no formal teaching or tutoring experience other than teaching my kids. I have managed people in the work place and have been told I am a good teacher/trainer. I am considering going back to school to become a teacher, but would like to try tutoring first. I have three kids, two have graduated high school and one is in middle school so I have seen my share of bad teachers who can only teach out of a book and don't know how to relat to their students. My teaching style would be tailored to what each individual needs help with. I am a patient person who would teach by solving some example problems, then assigning a few similar problems for my student to solve. If he or she has trouble solving them, I will try to identify what the issue or issues are and teach them what they are doing wrong and why.
